Abstract
The most remarkable thing about the adhesives and sealants industry is its
ability to constantly grow at a rate higher than the U.S. GDP over past 30-40
years, due to the industry' s ability to innovate. The introduction of new
applications have consistently captured market share from other industries,
such as fasteners and signage, but the costs of raw materials have begun to
affect market growth. To counter this increase in costs, adhesives and
sealants manufacturers took steps to increase production efficiency, shorten
customer contracts, and increase production in countries such as India and
China where manufacturing costs are low. Sealants and Adhesives in the U.S., a
new report from Specialists in Business Information (SBI), includes the
overall market size estimation, forecast through 2010, top marketers, latest
marketing trends, marketing dynamics and end-user analysis.
Scope and Methodology
This Specialists In Business Information report focuses on the market for
adhesives and sealants in the U.S., defined as comprising natural adhesives,
synthetic adhesives, structural sealants, and nonstructural caulking compounds
and sealants.
The market size is determined by the amount of adhesives and sealants supplied
to the market in a particular period. The U.S. market size for adhesives and
sealants was arrived at by adding imports and subtracting exports from
Department of Commerce statistics on adhesives and sealants domestic plant
shipments. In mathematical terms, Market size = Shipments + Imports - Exports.
The imports refer to the CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value while the
exports refer to the FAS (Free Alongside Ship) value.
Shipment statistics are derived from the U.S. Census of Manufacturers and
Annual Survey of Manufacturers and estimated and forecasted by SBI. Import and
Export data was obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S.
International Trade Commission. Price trends were tracked from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics Producer Price Index.
SBI designates the overall adhesives and sealants business as the market; the
four main product groupings (natural base glues and adhesives, synthetic resin
and rubber adhesives, structural sealants, and nonstructural caulking
compounds and sealants) as categories; and the various products within those
categories as segments or even sub segments.
